Old Time Radio-Theatre of the Mind-The Golden Age Of Radio
Yankee Yarns 1943-1951(Please look for video at bottom of page.)
You are welcome to download "Yankee Yarns" from this page, however if you wish to assist me in raising money for KIVA, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE OTR SHOWS FROM HERE. Thank you.
==================================
Yankee Yarns is an entertaining show about New England created by Alton H. Blackington. Touting himself as a storyteller, Alton weaves tales that are alternately amazing, eccentric, horrifying and comical. His "yarns" include stories of the sticky Boston streets of 1919, when a gigantic tank of molasses burst and coated the town, or of silly Connecticutians who gather a pool of $10 million to mine gold at the bottom of the ocean.
Yankee Yarns found themselves being told in many forms throughout the years, from radio to newspaper stories to lectures, and finally in a book. Radio listeners pestered Alton long and hard for scripts of his broadcast, so much so that he finally wrote himself a book in 1954. So whether you're in the mood for a spine tickle or a throat giggle, Yankee Yarns will leave you satisfied.

He had an amphibious steamboat (an amphibious steamboat?) named, "The Lady Of The Lake," and many more wonders...including a $50,000 funeral for Billy Bruin (yes, a black bear). If half these stories are true, it's one heck of a yarn...
